Z1-B engine mounting bolts
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:30 am
Reference to the workshop manual shows this (see pic, item 3) which I'm guessing is an error as I have 3 x M10 long bolts and 2 x M12 shorter bolts (with the teardrop fasteners). Am I right in thinking that the shorter 12mm bolts should have the higher torque figure and the longer 10mm the lower figure? If so, is 50 odd ft/lbs of torque against the teardrops going to damage the crankcases? Also, I'm assuming that when it says torque up the long bolts it means lock the bolt head and apply the torque to the locknut (to prevent the bolt shafts from twisting). Is this correct? Any advice most welcome as the engine is in the frame but not yet fully torqued up.
